The 80-year-old writer, perhaps best-known for her essays (“Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” “The White Album) and fiction (“Play As It Lays”) takes center stage in a black shirt and sunglasses — not overdone, and embracing the comfortable-in-my-own-skin look that Celine women know so well.

In “The White Album,” Didion sets out her travel packing list, which has been frequently shared across social media and includes the items: “2 skirts, 2 jerseys or leotards, 1 pullover sweater, 2 pair shoes…” Perhaps not such an unusual choice for a fashion campaign, after all.
